Simon Cowell speaks of sadness at Queen’s death and says he would have queued for lying in state if he was in UK
SIMON Cowell has spoken of his sadness over the Queen’s death and said he would have “one million per cent” queued for her lying in state if in the UK.
He was in LA when Her Majesty’s passing was revealed in September.
He said: “It was one of the moments where you remember where you were. Boy, oh boy, it hit me.
“You just think what this person did for the whole of her life.
“You have to give yourself to it completely — it’s your duty — and she did it to the end.”
Days after the Queen’s passing, TV stars Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were accused of skipping the queue to see her at Westminster Abbey.

But Simon said: “I would have queued, a million per cent.
“And I would have taken Eric with me.”
And he doesn’t think he will ever get a royal honour, adding: “I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
